Is there any way to learn to dive other than the kneel to squat to jumping dive progression?
I can't figure out how to dive for the life of me, and every Youtube video shows the same thing. Kneel and fall into the water. Then squat and dive. Then jump and dive. Almost all these videos are from people who already know how to dive, so at each stage they're basically just diving.
I'm pretty frustrated trying to figure this out. From belly-flopping and face meets water slapping, to turning to land on my shoulder, this sucks trying to learn to do it as an adult. Is there any alternate drill or something? Has anyone ever tried teaching an alternative method than the kneeling to squatting system?
